gatsby-source-goodreads

This is a source plugin for GatsbyJS to pull information from the GoodReads API. It is an alternative to gatsby-source-goodreads by Daniel Oliver, which predates it. While the original pulls these books in under a single node type, the goal in my version is to grabs all the books, author, and shelf information for a single user while preserving the links between data.

Notes on GoodReads API Structure

Note that good reads keeps the books and ratings as seperate data objects; these reviews are what are placed on shelves, not books, and I preserve this relation to provide the most transparant access possible. In short, your data is in the reviews nodes; data on the book itself is in the book node.

Install
